Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I'd like a running tally. I'm also open to rotating hosts, and I think that might be preferable for a lot of people. So, the podcast as of right now would be weekly, approximately 1 hour per session. I may need editors (John_Havok and Bendera thanks for your interest). I'll also take those tips on a good, affordable microphone. You'll obviously need a way to record your beautiful voice in a way that doesn't sound like absolute crap. DP messaged me about ways to monetize the podcast since he's a hungry capitalist shark so that's a thing that may happen in the future. Ok, so, indicate here if you're interested in being a permanent host or a rotating host. Don't worry if you think you suck, we probably all do. There might be some growing pains. You can also indicate if you're interested in helping in a different way, editing, cleaning the sound, doing writeups, etc. Mind you, all of this work is going to be pro-bono, at least for now. Fire away!
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Might I also suggest... https://www.shoutmeloud.com/tips-for-starting-podcast-beginners.html Obviously some things in there can be ignored, but Mic recommendations and other general knowledge is decent for starting out.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 lol Nobody wants to listen to you anyway, don't worry
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 lol All your posts have been negative, so I’m just going to ban you.
BlueRocky Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Don’t think I have the voice for it, but it sounds like a fun project. I would gladly be on board to help in anyway if there’s room.
Laika Community Moderator Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Wish I had the time. I probably have the most charisma and brains and the least audible lisp of anyone on this board. I've always thought a simulcast with the games would be a good idea. Just let people mute their TV and listen to actual decent commentary. Could do it through Twitch or something and pull up Fangraphs etc. during the games for viewers.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Wish I had the time. I probably have the most charisma and brains and the least audible lisp of anyone on this board. Also clearly the most humble.

Sorrow Verified Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 If you needed a host out of nothing but desperation I'd do it but I'd rather be a listener rather than an active contributor.

Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I'd absolutely love to contribute in some fashion
Laika Community Moderator Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 You don't have one hour per week? Living the life. Well putting together something of worthwhile quality would take significantly longer, presumably. Research, prep, editing, etc.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Well putting together something of worthwhile quality would take significantly longer, presumably. Research, prep, editing, etc. A charismatic man of such intellect should need little to no time to prep for this. Seriously though, you're probably the most ideal person for the job. Pendleton4life19 will even work pro bono on the DDL draft prep for you to free up time/commitments.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Author Posted May 18, 2018 Well putting together something of worthwhile quality would take significantly longer, presumably. Research, prep, editing, etc. I'd just need you to be a talking head.

gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Just my opinion, but I think the weekly podcast should be in conjunction with a live Jays game. It naturally provides more content and will help fill periodic silent spots.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 I might be interested. If not a host I could help be a "producer" and come up with segments and stuff. I'd like to know more about what the commitment would be. I'd also like to be highly offensive so I'd prefer to use my Terminator moniker if that's ok.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 I think the panel should be Boxy, Terminator and Jim. And also that it shouldn't be a baseball podcast.
Dick_Pole Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 DP messaged me about ways to monetize the podcast since he's a hungry capitalist shark so that's a thing that may happen in the future. Lesson #1 of capitalism: Never tip your hand to the other guys on a public message board where they can read it. Also, get on that request I sent you, you lazy bum.

I'm pretty sure a simulcast commentary would certainly be something you would need written consent from the Jays to do
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 I'm pretty sure a simulcast commentary would certainly be something you would need written consent from the Jays to do Of course you can't, that would be neat though.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 NJH you don’t have to do s***. Just dial in and spout off some diatribes on Boxy’s talking points. And if they’re lame we can troll Boxy, it’s perfect. I’m going to start assembling a sound board now.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 I’d mostly be interested in fantasy segments and giving hot takes.
Laika Community Moderator Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 It would probably be a good idea to start a new blog with a better title (same as the podcast). At the very least it would be a place to dump written content related to the podcast.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 No to a blog. That was tried and flopped.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Author Posted May 19, 2018 No to a blog. That was tried and flopped. It only flopped because all the writers got hired
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 It only flopped because all the writers got hired Yup.

You guys can chip in if you want but I honestly just want people to talk. If you and Laika are on board I can have a 4 man panel with me, you two dolts and P2F. I think that would be pretty good. And, like you said, if my talking points suck just try to piss me off, I've been told I'm funny when I'm mad.
